7. Memory Types Strong Typing ▫E▫Every element in the PLC has a data type ((bit, real, unsigned word, timer structure, etc.) ▫S▫Strong Typing PRO: Instructions know the data types EEXAMPLE: AA signed double-word (D-memory) can be compared to a real number (R-memory) without conversion to the same data type ▫E▫Even constants are strongly typed EEXAMPLES: HHexadecimal (prefix of “0x”; zero x) DDecimal (the number itself) OOctal (prefix of “0”; zero) RReal (enter a decimal point with the number; e.g. 2.0)

8. Casting ▫Strong Typing CON: Sometimes Strong Typing “gets in the way”  How to use just one bit in a V-memory location?  How to look at a group of 16 discrete inputs as a word?  How to look at 2 Modbus Holding Registers as a 32-bit Real number? : ▫Casting operator suffix “:” (colon) is the answer:  V5:0 – look at bit 0 in V5  X0:UB – look at X0-7 as an unsigned byte  X16:UW – look at X16-31 as an unsigned word  X32:SD – look at X32-63 as signed double-word ▫Type boundaries must be observed (byte, word, double word):  X1:UB – invalid, but X0:UB or X8:UB are valid ▫More examples:  MHR10:R – look at 16-bit MHR10-11 as 32-bit real  V12:SD – look at 16-bit V12-13 as a signed word  V11:B0 – look at byte 0 (low byte) of V11  V11:SB1 – look at byte 1 (high byte) of V11 as signed byte ▫Use Element Browser & Cast Builder Tool to help build
